Schanzlbrücke

Standing here at the Schanzlbrücke, you’re witnessing Passau’s largest bridge, built in 1968. It stretches across the Danube at river kilometer 2226.960. Its clearance height of 7.70 meters is quite significant, as it allows ships to pass even during high water levels. As you look around, imagine the changes this structure brought. The northern approach required parts of Eggendobl Castle to be removed, including its church and defensive wall. It’s a place where history and modern engineering meet. You might even hear the gentle hum of ships navigating beneath, taking advantage of this architectural marvel.
